Ask HN: Submit Please limit text to 2000 characters
I counted every character and it's 1986. Why does hn keep telling me to limit the text to a number that's higher? Should I make it exactly 2000 characters?
- gus_massa 11y agoI didn't test this but ... , are you counting newlines?
- andrewfromx 11y agowc hn.txt 26 371 1986 hn.txt are newlines special? There are only like 10 \n in whole file.
- throweway 11y ago\r too ?
- andrewfromx 11y ago\r too. I just don't get it. I think the error message is telling me the limit is 2000 but really the limit is like 1500 or something much lower.
